Default Suspension install?

Can anyone recommend a shop in the Orlando area or Tampa area that can install springs (RCE Yellows) and if they can install the car lab x-brace. I'm pretty sure the x-brace is easy just don't want to deal with it. Recommend a shop that you have been to for suspension installs thanks!

I did my suspension installs myself, but if you want to go to a shop check out S&R Performance in tampa. They have done many things on my car from the STI drivetrain swap to a custom FIA approved racing cage. 813-961-0609

S&R all the way.. there was some bad news about the bvp place in orlando recently- and a while back some bad ordeals went down with brotherz- s&R is the only one left I haven't heard anything bad about so I vote for them if you must take your car somewhere.

I took a downpipe there to get a bung welded for a uego a/f sensor and they did a great job. They also checked out my coolant reservoir leak. Total $58.00 They also recommended a cool product I hadn't seen yet from mishimoto-- a res cap with a temp sensor. COOL!

All the shops have had issues (including S&R), but they have all done good work too (including BVP and Brotherz).

With that said i have heard that S&R has experience with subaru suspension such as alignments and corner balancing. If i had to go somewhere I would say S&R.

Or you could always find a buddy and install it yourself.
